Missas put the foot down as she loves to going to the spud shed which is on a steep hill the timing gear sliped a cog or 2 it is cheaper to replace the xf falcon than fix it?gu bush basha

EF actuators were a problem right from the start. If only one is bung I don't see the need to replace all. They used to be about $100. You can also go after market.
Try another mechanic for a fair deal.I may be mad but I'm not crazy

Bruce,regarding your door lock problem,these are the "FACTS". I work for a Ford dealership in Melbourne,you need to replace full set of actuators if the existing actuators are not compatable with current new stocks,that will depend on build date of your vehicle or whether or not they have been replaced previously,(which is very possible as this is a known concern),otherwise only the problem actuator has to be replaced (assuming that can be determined).Having said all of that believe it or not Ford are still running an extension of warranty on "cycling actuator problems (unless something has changed in last 2-3 weeks) on EF and EL regardless of whether you are the original owner of the vehicle or not.,unfortunately some dealers are genuinly not aware of the re-introduction of this program some time ago.If a new set of actuators is required or if it is one required it should be covered by warranty . Suggest you contact Ford customer relations centre on phone 133673 (melbourne) for further clarification. I will be interested to hear of your response and will be happy to advise further if necessary.

For comparison, a local car sound mob up here, JB HI FI, had a complete central locking set for $29. Installed. Bout the price of ur diagnosis.

Bruce. please stay posted,i am back at work on wednesday and will follow up on latest on this issue.We processed a claim with ford as recent as 3 weeks ago with same conditions as yours (and have done regularly over last year or so).What is your location (roughly) in relation to Melbourne?,Don't give up yet,cheers Frank.

Funny, just reminds me why hubby and I have sworn off Fords FOREVER. Our EA falcon (never a bigger pile of garbage put on the road) had exactly the same problem you are describing. Only intermitent though so we never bothered fixing it - couldn't afford to anyway. Damn car kept us broke just trying to keep in drivable.
